Sl42 aluminium where popular but their are loads of options now . See the discount wheel building guy on here . Too early to remember his name right now.

If it’s for tt ing then a disc on the rear and whatever deep section road wheel takes your fancy on the front would seem logical. When I started tts (geared) I bought a 1080 rear and still ended up buying a disc anyway , sounds better too!

Raltech disc covers for the rear.

Got a skinsuit and spermhat? Got your position sorted? You account for something like 70% of the total drag.

Two hours with Aerocoach can be had for £345 and you'll be faster for that, than spending the same on wheels.

Wheel-wise, spend your money at the front: the air hits that first. Even a disc produces less gain than you'd think, because the air is "dirty".

Try TTF for a good selection of fast wheels.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
